How long will you have in and around Cape Town? November is a lovely time of year, spring into early summer, warm and sunny. There is lots of really stunning scenery from mountains to rugged beaches, fynbos and forests, in the area within day trips of the city centre or for a road-trip into the Western Cape.
Do note the quickest walk up TM (Platteklip Gorge) is literally rock steps all the way up, so consider taking walking poles if you have them. I would always recommend a full day around the Cape Peninsula to Cape of Good Hope for the scenery, but you can spend longer in locations there and back, particularly if you are into food and wines and/or photography. I think a visit to penguins is a must but I am focused on wildlife. There is also Kirstenbosch gardens for scenery and views nestled into the limestone with a canopy bridge walk, as well as the flowers and wildlife.
This forum has a lot of info about food and wines if you search.

There are wine farm stays for all budgets btw, especially if you are willing to self cater. And nature reserves with hiking in the mountains in much of the winelands areas, or picnic in the winery gardens. There are winelands further afield from the well-known Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, from Somerset West, Elgin, Hemel en Aarde in the south and east to Wellington and others further north. But Stellenbosch and Franschhoek are definitely geared towards excellent food and Franschhoek has the benefit of the wine tram, so every adult in your party can have a drink.
